First time hog owner. Question on conda belly markings.

I just picked up my first Hognose a few weeks ago and he's been awesome. Very curious and outgoing little guy. I was reading through John Berry's book this evening and noticed he mentioned. " When (condas) are crossed with other color mutations, the belly is no longer pure black but contains blotches of coloration." Does this include het types? He's supposedly 100% het albino. I believe I got him at a fair price and couldn't be happier, but if I was planning to get him a mate it would influence what I got. Conda female if he's not het, albino female if he is. his belly is solid black.

Usually being heterozygous or het for a gene won't show through to the phenotype or physical appearance of the snake. So he may look like a perfect little conda and still be het for albino.

Well thanks for clearing that up, burtongirl. I'm a gambling type so I think I'll look for the albino and try to prove him out down the road.
